Looking through cupboards, Glyn finds an envelope with the words "Don't Open - Destroy" written on it by his wife, Kath. Consumed by curiosity, he opens the envelope to find a photograph showing Kath holding hands with another man. This one act of betrayal, concealed for many years, obsesses Glyn as he tries to get to the root of Kath's infidelity. Very well written, told from several different viewpoints, I found it hard to put down.
